Answer 1

Once you start Portal and the Main Screen comes up (New Game, Load Game, Options) Click options.  Then click the "Keyboard" button at the top of the options screen.  Look at the bottom of the Keyboard Options Screen and you will see a button that says "Advanced...".  Click it.  Then check the box that says "Enable Developer's Console".

After that you can bring up the cheat menu using the   ~   Button.  You have to know some of the commands though... here are some to start you out...
